don't worry too much, that photo isn't of the garbage patch. the actual "garbage patch" contains lots and lots of teeny tiny plastic fragments that are barely visible to the naked eye. the only way to get rid of them would be to release an organism that digests plastic, or something. maybe turn it back into oil to make the venture profitable. sail out there with a tanker, a bunch of oil spill booms, and a bunch of plastic eating oil shitting bacteria. boom off a section of ocean, introduce bacteria, collect oil. repeat until tanker is full.
